The Micromax A63 from the Canvas Fun series is a downgraded version of Micromax Canvas Fun A74. This dual SIM handset runs on Android 4.2 and is powered by 1.3GHz dual core processor. It houses a 4 inch touch screen, supports 3G and is priced at Rs. 6,399.
Inside the Box
You will find the Micromax Canvas Fun A63, earphone, 1500 mAh removable battery, screen guard, warranty card, data cable, power adapter and user guide. The SAR value is 0.70 W/kg @1g head and 1.25W/kg @ 1g body.
Design, Display and OS
The handset has got a good build quality; rear side is with matte finish. The power button is placed on the left, volume rockers on the right, 3.5mm audio jack and micro USB port on the top. This is a dual SIM handset and SIM slot 1 supports 3G.
Micromax A63 is light weight at 122 grams. Thickness is 11.84mm, breadth 65.79mm and length is 124.37mm. Screen is 4 inches (TFT) supporting WVGA – 800×480 pixels resolution with 16M colors. Touch is responsive, smooth and overall a lag free experience. Viewing angles are okay – not really that good. The A63 runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS. There is software update option from Micromax (OTA updates). There are two sensors accelerometer and proximity sensors.
Memory and Storage
Micromax Canvas Fun A63 comes loaded with 512MB RAM and 4Gigs of internal storage. Of 512MB RAM 230 MB is free and of 4GB storage, 1.1GB is assigned for apps and 1.12GB as phone storage. Micro SD slot is present that can house 32GB cards. Apps can be installed on external storage. OTG is not supported.
Performance, Benchmark and Gaming
The MMX A63 houses a 1.3GHz MT6572 chipset (cortex A7) with Mali 400 MP GPU, it’s the same hardware as found on Micromax A74, Xolo A500S. The performance is good. Gaming is not that smooth as seen on A74 and A500S, there is a mild lag – check the video review. Modern combat 4 and Asphalt 7 did not show up on Google Play.
Benchmark scores
- Quadrant Benchmark : 3273.
- Antutu Benchmark : 11155.
- Vellamo Benchmark : HTML5 – 1633, Metal – 471.
- Nenamark2 : 40.8fps.
- Multi Touch : 2 point Multi Touch.
Camera and Entertainment
Don’t expect too much from the camera its fixed focus with 2MP resolution and LED flash that hardly works (though it does flash). There is front VGA camera too for video calls. Check the sample images shot using the A63 handset plus the 720p video sample. The still picture quality is okay and video at 720p with 12fps is no good. Full HD video playback is possible using MX player in H/W mode.
Others
No issues with the sound, it loud and clear. This handset supports 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There is no built in GPS receiver, in fact the GPS option is missing in the Notification and quick settings options. You can use Wi-Fi and mobile networks to get the location but it’s not very accurate.
1500 mAh Battery
The 1500 mAh battery gives a talktime of up to 4 hours. I used the handset continuously for 30 minutes (running benchmarks, playing games etc) the battery dropped by 11% and temp rose to 37 degree.
Micromax Canvas Fun A63 verdict
The Micromax A63 competes with Xolo A500s and the Micromax Fun A74. All of these handsets use the same hardware with minor changes like screen size, design and battery. A63 is priced at Rs. 6,399 and does not come with built in GPS. The Xolo A500s is a better option for few hundred Rs. More or spend some extra and get the Micromax A74.

The service ppl are saying they need to replace the mother board to fix the issue, but they are not ready to replace the cell. If to fix the issue they need to replace the mother board then don’t u call it a manufacturing defect and shouldn’t they take responsibility to replace the defected piece??

Gogi Plz help me out. My budget is Rs. 6000 which I cannot extend. Which phone would be better Micromax A89 or A63
a63 is much better
no doubt a63 its awesome looking phone with better display then a89 bcz of 16m colour support. If u don’t bothered camera and gps then blindly go with it.And i even dont known what is gps using gps Nokia phone last 8 year and never use it.My friend has 89 and he is jellies of me.Its headphones is very good support 5.1 surrounding sound.display is very good.Trust me you will never ever regret buying this.
May be repeating, as I am not sure if an earlier query was successfully launched! How do we change sound settings in Micromax A63? Eg: I get an alert once I end a call, on the balance etc. I wish to change its sound, or to keep it silent, even when the phone is not in silent mode. Do help.
Dear Gogi
Glad to see your video- unboxing Micromax A63. Do help me with an issue: I can’t find settings for sound alert notifications – eg: I wish to remove an alert sound that accompanies the notification I get after a call, or after I send a text message. How can I change the ring tone? I fancy seeing something when I first started using the phone (a week back), but now can’t! Do help. Thank you.

gogi sir,do u know any file transfer apps for canvas a63. Bluetooth is very slow in this phone.
use flash transfer
u can get it from play store.
but condition is that the person from whom u r sharing files must also have flash transfer.
Can I use mmx A74’s stock rom in a63?
Does it cause malfunction.?
Dear Gogi sir,
Many of us here have one common question here and you should really consider advising us on that-
Which is the best option to go for under 7k?
Micromax a74,
Xolo a500s, or,
Lava iris 501
P.S.-Iris 501 is now selling for 6999/- in ezone.
We really need your say on this one. Please answer.
Its the same hardware A74 or A500s depending on which handset you like look wise.
and the iris 501? Its available for 6999/- in ezone.
gogi sir,
You have reviewed Samsung 4 inch wvga resolution screen phone recently and now mmx.Do u feel any difference in display (brightness, sharpness, colour reproduction etc) quality.Or its same in both.
No its the same but Samsung phones come with special User Interface that looks really good and might tempt you to choose Samsung in case you keep the phone side by side with display on – you know what I mean.
thanks for replying sir.
Gogi sir,I want to planning buy a new Hansdet which handset better Gionee p2 or XOLO A500s?First i was planning to buy Xolo A500s,but i reconsider Gionee because of User Good Review and good Bulid Quality.Sir,please suggest which i one go for or else suggest another Good Phone in the budget of Rs.7500.

hey gogi, i want to ask u something about Lemon aspire A4 . You had said that its an exact replica of zopo zp980(1.2ghz version) . so tell me is there any gorilla glass protection on aspire A4?? because u have said in ur review of zopo that it contains gorilla glass layer.
i will buy either aspire A4 or Gionee elife E3.
according to u which phone is best….in terms of camera and moderate multitasking ability.
is it safe to buy mobile from indiatimes shopping website?
Yes it is.
Sorry,Sir, Indiatimes is fraud Website.Just type in Google Indiatimes Complaints so many Customer Complaints not getting Refund,Not getting Delivery in tiime. Also Site not give Cash on Delivery option on Money is less than Rs.10000.This site is similar to Timtara.com which is stop in which i also not get Refund of cancel order.
Yes, vy true Bhargav, i ordered nokia lumia 820 by paying 20k advance but after 7 days they informed that the delivery will take place after further 10 days, i immediately fought for the refund and luckily got it within a day bcoz their refund policy is more weird, as they mentioned to refund in 10 days after cancellation…………..Its totally fraud, never buy from indiatimes
Yeah. I find lots of negative reviews on Mouthshut.com about this site. But some of my friends have purchased things. I think the problem arises in cases of wrong or defective item.
thanx dude 🙂
True, i had ordered printer through indiatimes.com. After confirmation of payment receipt, they had called me & offered different brand printer in place of what i had ordered as they were not having printer in stock. This was really surprising. Cancelled order & placed on Snapdeal on 8th & received product on 11th.
Hands Up!!
For me too , i ordered xolo a500s and didn’t get the product yet , no proper response from them too.
gogi sir,is there any update plan by micromax for this handset bcz it has fota update apps & some sites are claiming that all canvas fun,2 plus, 3 & 4 etc are eligible for 4.3 updates by nov. end.Is it true.
Gionee p2 is much better in terms of built quality , display and having all the sensor including e-compass.
I would like to tell whom who dislike my comment. Gionee p2 has ips display. 5mp cam.. Water proof motherboard. And freebies also
Hi Gogi ji,
pleast suggest me any good mobile around 6 to 10K. my usage are
browsing, watching online videos, gaming, talk around 1.5 hr/day and i use 3G and WiFi.
Kindly suggest me any good looking mobile.
thanks for replying sir.Finally today after 13 days trying my phone gets repaired & working very well.
please review Gionee p2
Just visited local store and seen both mmx A63 and xolo a500s on the written as mmx A63 as
1.3GHz MT6572 but xolo a500s written as
1.2GHz MT6572w chipset
is it like q800 may be they downgraded chipset.
No both same, check the video review of both these handsets you will find the same 1.3GHz on both. Xolo after to goof up with q800 they might be playing safe.
Hey gogi…is this new processor
1.3 ghz mtk 6572 any better than the old
1.2 ghz mtk 6577 processor.
Yes benchmark scores are better and 1.3GHz can play FHD videos.
Gogi, apps can be moved in external storage in xolo a500s..plz reply
check memory and storage section on http://www.gogi.in/xolo-a500s-review.html
Gogi sir,still my a63 software problem is not solved by company.I am visiting center every day and they fools ask me to come next day and simply ignores the issue.On monday they told its software is listed in there server and said come tuesday.The next day they again told out of 3 files one file server not responding.They again ask me to visit next day.Another 3 days pass today.They are not even ready to give me refund nor replacement bcz hardware is fine.They just telling to wait but no time or date.
